dailyrecord.co.ukMichael Beale has challenged keepers Jon McLaughlin and Robby McCrorie to prove he doesn’t have to buy a new No.1 for Rangers in the summer - as he hinted strongly Allan McGregor’s time at Ibrox is coming to an end.The Gers boss insisted last week that McGregor is the best goalkeeper in the country - and will be back between the sticks in Perth on Saturday after being benched at Kilmarnock on Wednesday night.
But Beale doesn’t appear to think the 40-year-old will have another season in him after his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.He said: “It’s clear that at the end of the season we need to either bring a goalie in or make sure we make a decision on either Jon or Robby to be number one.
